Banking, financial services, and digital assets

Security and GRC for banks, lenders, fintech, digital wallets, stablecoins, and blockchain operations.

Correlate fraud, sanctions, AML/KYC, wallet, identity, cloud, code, and transaction signals into one evidence-backed risk picture with approval-gated response.

Sector problems

What this environment has to get right

  • The same controls are evidenced to different examiners, each with a different template.
  • Fraud patterns move across checks, ACH, wires, and instant payments faster than a manual review queue.
  • Core processors and payment providers are critical dependencies, and their risk has to be visible.
  • Models used for fraud, AML, and customer service can be manipulated, poisoned, or drift.
  • Staff paste customer financial data into public AI tools.

Regulations and frameworks

How AI SOAR supports the evidence, not the determination

Mappings help you collect and organize evidence. An assessor, examiner, auditor, or authorizing official still decides whether the obligation is met. The platform does not certify an organization or file a regulatory notice.

FrameworkWhat it asks forHow the platform helps
GLBA and the FTC Safeguards RuleOfficial source ↗Protect customer financial information under a written information security program.Safeguards evidence, email protection, and AI firewall controls keep customer data out of unapproved prompts.
PCI DSSOfficial source ↗Protect cardholder data, including logging, secure development, and testing requirements in the current standard.Assessment, code analysis, application testing, and log workflows map findings to the requirements in scope.
NYDFS Part 500Official source ↗Maintain a cybersecurity program, including MFA, asset inventory, and incident notification on the regulator's clock.Inventory, identity-threat detection, and incident timelines support the program. People still make and file notices.
FFIEC IT examination expectationsOfficial source ↗The FFIEC retired its Cybersecurity Assessment Tool on 31 August 2025. Examiners point institutions to resources such as NIST CSF 2.0, the CRI Profile, CIS Controls, and CISA performance goals.Evidence maps to NIST CSF 2.0 and the IT examination handbook rather than a retired CAT score.
BSA/AML and sanctionsOfficial source ↗Monitor transactions, know the customer, screen sanctions, and file suspicious activity reports when required.AML and KYC workflows screen sanctions lists, rate customer risk, and draft SAR content for a compliance officer. A person decides whether to file.
SWIFT CSP, SOX, and DORAOfficial source ↗Attest to SWIFT customer security controls, support IT general controls over financial reporting, and, for EU financial entities, manage ICT risk under DORA.Payment-rail tests, control evidence, resilience exercises, and third-party reviews produce packages for the owner who attests or reports.

Typical workflows

Illustrative missions, with a person still in control

These workflows show how documented capabilities apply. They are not customer case studies, and they do not describe a guaranteed outcome.

Investigate a check-kiting pattern

Problem
Deposits across accounts look like kiting, and returned items show altered payees.
What the platform does
Fraud workflows flag the pattern and related items, then open an incident with the account links.
Human approval
A fraud analyst decides on holds or account actions. Any SAR draft waits for the compliance officer.
Evidence
A case record with the flagged items, the analyst's decision, and the draft history.

Assemble SWIFT customer-security evidence

Problem
The annual SWIFT attestation needs a result for each in-scope control.
What the platform does
Payment-rail checks test the relevant controls and dual-control expectations, then assemble a package.
Human approval
The attestation owner reviews the package before it is used.
Evidence
Test results and hashes tied to the controls that were actually checked.

Govern models used in fraud and AML

Problem
Model-risk management needs evidence that fraud and AML models stay accurate, fair, and resistant to manipulation.
What the platform does
Health checks cover accuracy, robustness, fairness, and drift. Adversarial tests probe manipulation. Governance records the approval.
Human approval
The model-risk committee approves each model version.
Evidence
Test results, approval records, and an audit trail for that version.

A practical route from scope to evidence

  1. 01

    Scope and connect

    Define the customer profile, authorized assets, and responsible owners. Security and GRC for banks, lenders, fintech, digital wallets, stablecoins, and blockchain operations.

  2. 02

    Test and investigate

    Use fraud detection, AML/KYC, sanctions screening workflows with approved credentials and mission limits. Preserve source evidence and failures alongside findings.

  3. 03

    Remediate and verify

    Assign corrective work, obtain approvals, capture changes, and retest. Export the evidence, exceptions, and status history for business owners and assessors.

Questions for this sector

Answers you can take to a scoping call

Which financial obligations can the platform map?+

Evidence workflows cover GLBA safeguards, SOX IT general controls, PCI DSS, NYDFS Part 500, FFIEC examination expectations, NCUA cybersecurity duties where they apply, BSA/AML and sanctions screening, SWIFT customer security controls, DORA for EU operations, and NIST CSF 2.0. A mapping is not an examination result.

Does the platform still score the FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool?+

The FFIEC retired that tool on 31 August 2025. Current workflows map evidence to NIST CSF 2.0 and the FFIEC IT examination handbook.

Can it file a suspicious activity report?+

No. It can pre-fill a draft for compliance-officer review. A person decides whether to file and what to file.

Does it connect to core banking and payment systems?+

The financial pack can use core-banking and payment-rail connectors, including processors, card networks, and sanctions or BSA feeds, where that connector is enabled in the deployment. Availability is verified per tenant.
